1001 shades of death — HotA 1.3.0+
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
"1001 Shades of Death" is an Extra Large 144x144 map with an underground level, built for Horn of the Abyss 1.3.0 and later and rated Expert. It is designed for seven players, but only one can be human; the other six colors are computer-only, and there are no teams. The human player leads the Red Castle side, while the others play Tower, Conflux, Necropolis, Cove, Stronghold and Inferno. The story centers on trolls who have gathered many resources and captured most of the creatures, and the goal is to recover the Angelic Alliance artifact and carry it back to your town before they do. Victory requires transporting that artifact, and the game is lost if you lose all your towns and heroes. Rock, water and snow cover most of the terrain, with 89 mines, 13 towns, and roaming troll stacks scattered across the map.
